Boss Obama lies (surprise)

I just wanted to take a minute to explain to everyone what we were able to achieve this week. In the face of looming deadlines that would have taken a big chunk out of everyone’s bottom line, you know my top priority has been preventing a tax hike that would have hit 98 percent of all Americans in 2013, because the last thing middle-class families could afford now would be to pay upwards of $2,000 more in taxes this year. . . . We’ve stopped that middle-class tax hike.

As Jean-Luc Picard informed Wesley Crusher in "The First Duty," a lie of omission is still a lie. And in this case, Boss Obama neglects to inform that the expiration of the payroll-tax holiday (it goes up two percent) means virtually all Americans (like me) will face a tax increase.
